Hi All, I'm new to the forum...sending out a question for anyone who has had experience with this or thinks I am crazy!
I have just bought a 27yr old Cape Cod home and would like to put a 4th bedroom over an existing 2car garage. The attic has enough space and would be able to enter the room by punching a door through the end of the upstairs hallway. The attic above the garage is open, I wouldn't have to move any trusses, big enough open area. I imagine I would have to strengthen my joists and put in a dormer for added room and light. Seperate air conditioning unit and gas fireplace/electric base boards for heat would be used.
Any thoughts?
